Cancer and deep belly fat: New study links visceral fat activity to aggressive cancer growth in women
A groundbreaking study presented at EANM’25 reveals a powerful link between metabolically active visceral fat and aggressive endometrial cancer. Researchers found that high glucose uptake in this deep belly fat, rather than just its volume, drives more advanced disease and lymph node involvement. This discovery could revolutionize cancer risk assessment and treatment strategies by targeting "hot" visceral fat.
